Hiking
Trá na bhForbacha is on the roadside before the village of Furbo. It is a very scenic beach that offers plenty of space to stroll around at low tide. It is marked as a safe beach for swimming.
There is a large parking lot in front of it.
There is a beautiful sandy beach but also rocks which is especially exciting for children to explore. Here you can find shells and maybe some small sea creatures.

Cycling
Furbo Beach (of Trá na bhForbacha) is a charming stopover along Galway's coastal route, where the sandy beach and rocky tide pools alternate. From the car park on the R336, you can walk straight onto the beach for a unique view across the bay towards the Burren hills. The shallow, clear water is popular with local swimmers, and the proximity to the well-known pub Pádraicín’s makes it the perfect spot for a well-deserved break.
